Try to get an early start (5-6am) and be sure to eat a good meal the night before. While you are walking don't be shy about stopping to take breaks, snack, and drink water. I made that mistake. You'll feel very proud when you finally reach Roncesvalles. Then you can say you walked over a mountain!<BR>
